This lively etching of windmills along a canal near Rotterdam has the freshness and spontaneity of a sketch made on the spot—qualities Jongkind’s contemporaries, including the pre-Impressionist painters, greatly admired. Hailed by French painter Édouard Manet as the “father of modern landscape,” Jongkind was also clearly indebted to Rembrandt’s approach to the depiction of nature. As a Dutch artist working in etching, Jongkind could not escape Rembrandt’s influence, particularly
when confronting subjects Rembrandt had made famous.

This impression was signed and dedicated to a friend by Jongkind.
